Welcome to Spencer House
Visit London's most magnificent 18th century private palace.
From its conception, Spencer House was recognised as one of the most ambitious aristocratic town houses ever built in London and is, today, the city's only great eighteenth-century private palace to survive intact.
Spencer House was built in 1756-66 for John, first Earl Spencer, an ancestor of Diana, Princess of Wales (1961-97). Situated in the heart of St James's, Spencer House is a short distance from St James's Palace, Buckingham Palace and the Palace of Westminster, and has a splendid terrace and garden with magnificent views of The Green Park.

London – In October 2011, Christie's launched an exciting exhibition programme of modern and contemporary sculpture in conjunction with Spencer House, one of the finest of London's 18th century private palaces, and the last to remain intact. The programme was launched with Antony Gormley's Angel of the North, 1996, which was on view on the terrace of Spencer House from 29 September to 6 October 2011.
